DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments,
examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
[0014] In the following detailed description, reference is made to
the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is
shown by way of illustration various embodiments. These embodiments
are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the
art, and it is understood that other embodiments may be utilized
and that logical structural, mechanical, electrical, and chemical
changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope as
broadly described herein. To avoid detail not necessary to enable
those skilled in the art, the description may omit certain
information known to those skilled in the art. The following
detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting
sense.
[0015] In a gas oven range, a burner chamber housing a gas burner
may be provided below a cooking chamber in which items are received
for cooking. The cooking chamber and the burner chamber may
communicate with each other through openings in the bottom surface
of the cooking chamber in order to transfer air heated by the
burner from the burner chamber to the cooking chamber. While these
openings may provide for effective transfer of heat from the burner
chamber to the cooking chamber, food and other matter may flow into
the burner chamber through the openings while the food is cooked in
the cooking chamber and/or received into and/or removed from the
cooking chamber, causing possible contamination and malfunction of
the burner. These openings in the bottom surface of the cooking
chamber may also make it difficult to clean the cooking chamber.
Further, installation of the burner below the cooking chamber may
detract from capacity of the cooking chamber.
[0016] Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, a gas oven range 1, in
accordance with embodiments as broadly described herein, may
include a main body 10, a cooktop 100, a main oven 200, and a
controller 400. As shown in FIG. 1A, a drawer 300 may be slidably
coupled to the main body 10. As shown in FIG. 1B, an auxiliary oven
350 may be provided above the main oven 200. In certain
embodiments, the cooktop 100 and/or the drawer part 300 may be
omitted, depending on a type and installation. The cooktop 100, the
oven 200, and the drawer 300 may be arranged may be at an upper
part, a central part, and a lower part of the main body 10,
respectively, as in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1A.
Similarly, the cooktop 100, the main oven 200 and the auxiliary
oven 350 may be arranged as shown in FIG. 1B, or other arrangement
as appropriate. The controller 400 may be provided, for example, at
a rear end of an upper surface of the main body 10, or other
location as appropriate.
[0017] The cooktop 100 may include a plurality of cooktop burners
110 to directly heat containers in which food is received, using
flames generated by burning gas. A plurality of knobs 120 may be
provided at a front end of the cooktop 100 to open or close a valve
controlling a supply of gas to a particular burner 110, or a supply
amount, or an opening degree of the valve.
[0018] The oven 200 may include a cavity 210 forming a cooking
chamber 211. The cavity 210 may include two opposite lateral side
walls, an upper wall, a rear wall, and a bottom wall, with the
front surface of the cavity 210 open. The oven 200 may also include
an oven door 220 opening and closing the cooking chamber 211. The
oven door 220 may be rotatably connected to the main body 10. For
example, the oven door 220 may open and close the cooking chamber
211 by a pull-down method in which an upper end vertically pivots
about the lower end thereof. However, an operating method of the
oven door 220 is not limited to this. A door handle 221 to be
grasped by a user may be provided at an upper front end of the oven
door 220 in order to facilitate rotation of the oven door 220.
[0019] The drawer 300 may keep a container, in which food is
received, warm at a predetermined temperature. The drawer 300 may
be slidably received in the main body 10. The auxiliary oven 350
may be capable of being rapidly heated to a desired temperature,
and may be suitable for broiling.
[0020] The controller 400 may receive an operating signal for
operating the gas oven range 1, for example, an operating signal
for operating at least one of the cooktop 100, and/or the oven 200,
and/or the drawer 300, and/or the auxiliary oven 350. The
controller 400 may also externally display various information
related to the operation of the gas oven range 1.
[0021] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 6, a burner assembly 230 for
generating heat to be provided to the cooking chamber 211 may be
provided on the rear wall 216 of the cavity 210. The burner
assembly 230 may be coupled with the rear wall 216 of the cavity
210 in the cooking chamber 211.
[0022] A recessed portion 213 for increasing a capacity of the
cavity 210 may be formed in the bottom wall 212 of the cavity 210,
as a part of the bottom wall 212 that is recessed downward. That
is, in this embodiment, since the burner assembly 230 is installed
at the rear wall 216 of the cavity 210, and not below the cavity
210, the recessed portion 213 may be formed at the bottom wall of
the cavity 210 to increase the capacity of the cavity 210.
[0023] The burner assembly 230 may include a burner 240 which may
generate flames by burning gas, a plate 250 supporting the burner
240, a fan 260 for blowing air heated by the flames into the
cooking chamber 211, a cover 270 covering the burner 240, and a fan
motor 280 for rotating the fan 260. A discharge port 290 for
discharging the burned gas may be provided at the rear wall 216 of
the cavity 210.
[0024] The burner 240 may include a burner body 242, and a supply
duct or pipe 244 supplying a gas and air mixture to the burner body
242. The burner body 242 may be somewhat rounded to increase a
flame generation area. For example, the burner body 242 may have a
"U"-like shape, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6. However, the burner body
242 may have various other shapes as appropriate, such as, for
example, circular, elliptical and the like. One or more protrusions
245 for penetrating the plate 250 may be formed at the burner body
242.
[0025] The supply duct 244 may be connected to a lower portion of
the burner body 242. For example, the supply duct 244 may be
connected to a curved portion of the burner body 242. The mixed gas
supplied from the supply duct 244 may be divided and flow to the
two opposite sides of the burner body 242. In this embodiment, the
mixed gas is divided to flow into the burner body 242 so that
flames may be evenly generated throughout the burner body 242. The
supply duct 244 may penetrate the rear wall 216 of the cavity 210
and extend to a rear side of the rear wall 216. In addition, a
nozzle may be disposed at a position aligned with the supply duct
244.
[0026] An opening 255 may be formed at a central portion of the
plate 250 to allow air to flow therethrough. In addition, a first
hole 258 may be formed below the opening 255, to allow the supply
duct 244 to pass through the first hole 258, such that the burner
240 may be primarily supported on the plate 250. The positioning of
the supply duct 244 through the first hole 258 may prevent the
burner 240 from moving in a vertical direction. One or more second
holes 259 through which the one or more protrusions 245 of the
burner body 242 pass may be formed in the plate 250 to prevent the
burner 240 from moving in a horizontal direction and rotating.
[0027] A first partition 254 for guiding air flow and partitioning,
or isolating, the flames generated by the burner 240 from the air
flow, may be formed at the plate 250, adjacent to the opening 255.
The first partition 254 may be disposed to face the burner body 242
and be formed in substantially the same shape as the burner body
242. The first partition 254 may protrude toward the cover 270 from
the plate 250. That is, the first partition 254 may protrude from
the plate 250 in a direction away from the rear wall 216 of the
cavity 210. The burner body 242 may be positioned outside the first
partition 254 while installed on the plate 250, such that the
burner body 242 covers the outside of the first partition 254. In
this case, the burner body 242 may be in contact with or separated
from an outer surface of the first partition 254.
[0028] A second partition 254A may be provided at an upper end of
the first partition 254. The second partition 254A may connect the
two upper ends of the first partition 254, and may partition the
air flow from the flames of the burner 240. Rotation of the fan 260
causes air in the cooking chamber 211 to pass through a region
where the first partition 254 and the second partition 254A
surround the opening 255 and guide the air through the opening 255.
In this case, the partitions 254 and 254A may partition the air
flow and the flames and guide the air flow.
[0029] The burner body 242 may have a hollow cylindrical shape, and
a plurality of flame holes 243 may be formed at an outer peripheral
surface (a surface of the burner body 242 having a relatively large
length) of the burner body 242. In this embodiment, an inner
peripheral surface of the burner body 242 may face the first
partition 254, with the outer peripheral surface of the burner body
242 being opposite the inner peripheral surface. In this
embodiment, the plurality of flame holes 243 may be formed on the
outer peripheral surface of the burner body 242 to avoid
interference of flames generated by adjacent flame holes 243.
[0030] In this embodiment, since the air flow and the flames are
partitioned, or isolated, by the partitions 254 and 254A, a flame
blowing phenomenon (flame instability) due to the air flow may be
prevented, and air at a periphery of the burner 240 may be rapidly
heated up to a target temperature.
[0031] Alternatively, the partitions 254 and 254A may also be
formed at the cover 270, and may extend backward toward the plate
250 from the cover 270.
[0032] One or more fastening portions 253 for fixing the plate 250
to the rear wall 216 of the cavity 210 may be formed at the plate
250. The fastening portions 253 may protrude toward the rear wall
216 of the cavity 210 from the plate 250. The fastening portions
253 may include a first extension 253A extending horizontally from
the plate 250, and a second extension 253B extending vertically
from an end of the first extension 253A. A fastening hole 253C may
be formed in the second extension 253B.
[0033] When the fastening portions 253 of the plate 250 are
fastened to the rear wall 216 of the cavity 210, the plate 250 and
the rear wall 216 of the cavity 210 may be spaced apart from each
other, and an air passage P in which the heated air flows may be
formed between the plate 250 and the rear wall 216. The fan 260 may
be positioned in the air passage P.
[0034] One or more communicating openings 256 through which the
heated air flows may be formed at two opposite lower ends of the
plate 250. Accordingly, the air from the air passage P may pass
through the communicating openings 256 due to rotation of the fan
260 and flow forward. In FIG. 3, as an example, two communicating
openings 256 are formed, but the number of communicating openings
is not limited, and various numbers and/or arrangements of openings
may be appropriate.
[0035] While the plate 250 is installed on the rear wall 216 of the
cavity 210, a lower central portion of the plate 250 (a portion
between the two communicating holes 256) may be in contact with the
bottom wall 212 of the cavity 210.
[0036] The cover 270 may cover the burner 240 at the front of the
plate 250. The cover 270 may include a cover body 272. The burner
240 may be positioned between the cover body 272 and the plate 250.
The cover 270 may be coupled with the rear wall 216 of the cavity
210. The cover 270 may define a burner chamber C together with the
plate 250, and a part of the bottom wall 212 of the cavity 210.
[0037] The cover 270 may include one or more inlets 273 to guide
air from the cooking chamber 211 into the burner chamber C, and one
or more outlets for discharging the air heated by the burner 240 to
the cooking chamber 211.
[0038] For example, the inlets 273 may be formed at a central
portion of the cover body 272. The outlets may include at least one
side outlet 277, at least one upper outlet 278, and at least one
lower outlet 279. A contact portion 275 of the cover 270 contacting
the bottom wall 212 of the cavity 210 may be provided at the lower
central portion of the cover member 270. A part of the cover 270
may be cut and curved forward to form discharge guides 274 at the
two ends of the contact portion 275. The cut portion(s) forming the
discharge guide(s) 274 may define the lower outlet(s) 279. The
discharge guide 274 may be inclined downward toward the front (a
direction facing the oven door 270) from the cover 270, as shown in
FIG. 3. The discharge guide 274 may face the communicating opening
256 formed in the plate 250.
[0039] Accordingly, the air passing through the communicating
opening 256 passes through the lower outlet 279 and then flows
toward the oven door 220, guided by the discharge guide 274. That
is, the air discharged through the lower outlet 279 by the
discharge guide 274 does not directly flow toward the inlet 273,
but may flow toward the oven door 220 to thereby fully and
uniformly heat the cooking chamber 211.
[0040] Referring to FIG. 5, when gas G is injected from the nozzle
into the supply duct 244 at high speed, external air A1 (air from
outside the cavity 210) near the supply duct 244 is supplied to the
supply duct 244 together with the gas G. In this case, the external
air A1 is supplied to the supply duct 244 due to a pressure
difference when a peripheral portion of the gas G supplied to the
supply duct 244 is at low pressure.
[0041] Accordingly, when the air is supplied to the supply duct 244
in this manner, air required for burning the mixed gas may not
sufficiently be supplied to the burner body 242. In this case, an
incomplete burning phenomenon of the mixed gas may occur, and as a
result, an increased amount of carbon monoxide may be generated due
to the incomplete burning.
[0042] Accordingly, in this embodiment, in order to prevent the
incomplete burning phenomenon, an air inlet 214 to which additional
air A2 for burning the mixed gas flows may be formed in the bottom
wall 212 of the cavity 210. The air inlet 214 may be provided in a
region of the bottom wall 212 corresponding to a region between the
contact portion 275 and the lower central portion of the plate 250
defining the burner chamber C. Accordingly, the air passing through
the air inlet 214 may flow between the contact portion 275 of the
cover 270 and the lower central portion of the plate 250, and then
toward the burner 240.
[0043] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the air A2 flowing
through the air inlet 214 from being mixed with the air in the
cooking chamber 211, the cover 270 and the plate 250 may contact a
wall (for example, the bottom wall 212) with the air inlet 214.
That is, in this embodiment, the contact portion 275 of the cover
270 and the lower central portion of the plate 250 may contact the
bottom wall 212 having the air inlet 214 formed therein.
[0044] Alternatively, the air inlet 214 may be formed in one or
both of the side walls of the cavity 210.
[0045] Further, in order to prevent the air A2 flowing through the
air inlet 214 from being influenced by air A4 discharged through
the communicating opening(s) 256 of the plate 250, a partition 279A
for partitioning the flowing air A2 and the discharged air A4 may
be formed at the cover 270 or the plate 250. That is, the partition
279A may be provided between the cover 270 and the plate 250.
[0046] In embodiments as broadly described herein, for example, the
partition 279A is formed at the cover 270 and extends back toward
the rear wall 216 of the cavity 210. Alternatively, when the
partition 279A is formed at the plate 250, the partition 279A may
extend forward toward the cover 270 from the plate 250.
[0047] In embodiments as broadly described herein, since the air
outside the cavity 210 may be additionally supplied to the burner
chamber C through the air inlet 214, generation of carbon monoxide
due to the incomplete burning of the mixed gas may be
decreased.
[0048] In this embodiment, since the contact portion 275 of the
cover 270 contacts the bottom wall 212 of the cavity 210, the air
inlet 214 is not exposed outside while the oven door 220 is opened.
Further, the contact portion 275 of the cover 270 is positioned at
the front of the air inlet 214, that is, between the air inlet 214
and the recessed portion 213, and thus it may be possible to
prevent food and the like from flowing into the air inlet 214
during cooking or cleaning of the cavity 210.
[0049] Hereinafter, operation of the burner assembly will be
described.
[0050] When the burner assembly is turned on, the mixed gas is
supplied to the burner 240 to generate flames in the burner 240. In
addition, when the fan motor 280 is turned on, the fan 260 rotates.
As the fan 260 rotates, the air A3 in the cooking chamber 211 flows
into the burner chamber C through the inlet 273 formed in the cover
270. The air flowing into the burner chamber C is guided by the
partitions 254 and 254A into the air passage P through the opening
255 in the plate 250. In order to minimize the influence of the air
A3 on the flames generated by the burner 240, the partitions 254
and 254A may contact the cover 270.
[0051] Since the burner chamber C and the air passage P are heated
by the flames of the burner 240, the air flowing to the air passage
P is heated as the air flows. In addition, the air A4 flows from
the air passage P through the communicating opening(s) 256 of the
plate 250, and then is discharged to the cooking chamber 211
through the side outlet(s) 277 and the lower outlet(s) 279 of the
cover 270. The remainder of the air in the air passage P may be
directly discharged to the cooking chamber 211 through the upper
outlet(s) 278 of the cover 270.
[0052] In the above embodiment, the burner assembly is installed on
the rear wall of the cavity, within the cavity. However, in
alternative embodiments, the burner assembly may be installed on
the rear wall of the cavity, outside the cavity.
[0053] Although embodiments have been described with reference to a
number of illustrative embodiments thereof, it should be understood
that numerous other modifications and embodiments can be devised by
those skilled in the art that will fall within the spirit and scope
of the principles of this disclosure. More particularly, various
variations and modifications are possible in the component parts
and/or arrangements of the subject combination arrangement within
the scope of the disclosure, the drawings and the appended claims.
In addition to variations and modifications in the component parts
and/or arrangements, alternative uses will also be apparent to
those skilled in the art.
[0054] Embodiments as broadly described herein are directed to a
gas oven range.
[0055] In one embodiment, a gas oven range as broadly described
herein may include a cavity to form a cooking chamber in which
foods are cooked; and a burner assembly installed on a rear wall of
the cavity, in which the burner assembly includes a burner having
flame holes, a plate to support the burner, and a cover member to
cover the burner to form a burner chamber and having an inlet
flowing air of the cooking chamber into the burner chamber, and a
partition to partitions air flowing from the cooking chamber to the
burner chamber and flames generated from the burner and provided
between the cover member and the plate.
[0056] In another embodiment, a gas oven range as broadly described
herein may include a cavity to form a cooking chamber in which
foods are cooked; a cover member installed on one wall of the
cavity in the cavity and having an inlet into which air in the
cooking chamber flows; a burner disposed between one wall of the
cover member and the cover member and having a plurality of flame
holes; a plate disposed between one wall of the cover member and
the cover member to support the burner; and a partition provided
between the cover member and the plate to partition air flowing
through the inlet from the cooking chamber and flames generated
from the burner.
